ed with similar duty some years
ago. On arriving in Dublin, he
found the atmosphere all Parnellite
when he reached Belfast, it was as
holly Orangite; so he apparently
gave up the task as hopeless. Phil
ippi Daryl is the nom de plume for
Parchel Grousset, who was Minister
for Foreign Affairs, under the Com
mune, and whose foreign field of
work, was compulsorarily limited by
the city iortiications. Arrested
when endeavorlng to escape disguis-
ed MS a woman, he was sent to New
Caledonia, from which he bolted
with Rochefort, and in arriving in
London, settled down there as cor
respondent for the "Temp"-the
natural success Of Louis Blanc.
G ousset was abused, like 50 many
OF his clans, Australia which allowed
him to disembark, for England that
gave him all the exile comforts Of a
home. He has long since denounced
all his Wildcats politics, and in mel
lowing down into old crusted Con-
servatism. AS he is a small landed
proprietor, with yearly tenants on
his estate, people are Cycling to
know, how he would like the law,
not himself, 10 fix the rent Of their
holding, and in case there were some
years in arrear of rent, how would he
deal with the old score.
Nj. lola has not been allowed to

the uneviable notoriety of being a
dircy writer; just now he is prov

La Terre, in morning journal, he

find palliation for the liberties he
has taken with the moral and men,
tai hygiene, of his readers. 1t was
bad enough hitherto to have to pick
your steps through his columns of
nasty stuff now you must positively
pinch your nose in skipping the Ra-
belesians proofs of naturalism. 1t

to: lola has sloped TO literary filth.
and lies wallowing in ordure. The
tale is intended to chronicle the
coarse manners, dirty habits, ami
NAL instincts, and social purilities,
of French rustic life. lie empties
the manure heaps simply, and in
vites the readers to read, mark,
learn, but above all, admire his dust
man expertness. Five of his disci-
pies have signed a round Robin,
that would be more effective were
it simple and less verbose, shaking
off the dust of their feet against
their once pontiif, and declining to
follow him either to a lunatic asylum
or main sewer. Paris clearly re-
puaiatcs Zolaism, which has been
killed by The very excuses of lola
ism. The gods scourge us with our
vices.
Attention is being drawn to the
pinched condition of musical COM
press in France not mors than two
really live on the income denied
from their compositions: first comes
Gounod, with his town house, and
his country villa at st. Cloud he is
as snug as a mouse in a Dutch
cheese. Ambrose Thomas would
find it difficult to make the two ends
meet were he not director of the
Academy of Music; his Hamlet is
not at all gold mine. Saint-Saens
the composer, is supported by Saint
Saens the giver of concert; when
Massenet wrote Manon, he had to
give lessons in music to obtain the
means to live. Reyerr the composer
of Sigurd, depends for his revenue
on the salaries from a plurality of
small offices. Leo Delibes,s having
a personal fortune, is Independent
of the receipts from Lackme, Sylvia
etc. Jencieres, has composed some
good things, but it is by his lessons,
and salary as musical critic he
lives. They are the by-gains which
keep the musical composers out of
want and misery. And they are
poverty itself, as compared say with
Faure, who interprets their works.
Neither composers, nor singers make
as much hard money as Paulus of
cafe-concert fame--the composer
and singer of the Boulanger melo-
dies. He keeps his carriage, lux
ury Gounod has not. The public
wants comic songs, baccy, beer, and
side-splitting laughter. The man
who eschews these ends, may go
down to posterity celebrity, but he
will, during his life time, have to
struggle with that ever keep coming
on enemy-a hungry stomach.
